Reviews for Teaching With Jillian Starr Podcast

Bad Financial Advice!

The guest you had in financial planning was just saying so many things that are not the best way to handle finances! As a listener of Dave Ramsey I was literally yelling “NO!!!” at half the things she said. Encouraging people to use credit cards for the “rewards” is a easy way for people to end up in the hole and you should not be investing in your retirement until your debt is paid off. Dave Ramsey’s baby steps. Look them up before listening to a random person who wrote a blog and now thinks they’re an “expert”.

Less about teaching, more about left activism

I highly enjoy the episodes that center around teaching practices, they are thoughtful and useful. I don’t particularly enjoy the victimization of minorities lense that she often takes. We can fend for ourselves, thank you.

Love at first listen

I typed in “teaching” and this came up, I didn’t expect to be blown away but listened to every single episode after the first one. Jillian’s voice is a warm, cheerful hug with thoughtful advice on how we teach in our classrooms. Although she teaches primary and I teach 5th grade, so many of her ideas and thoughts carry over into upper grades as well. She has me questioning the “why” behind many of my procedures and policies and my classrooms. I would 100% give a listen if you’re looking for inspiration in your classroom. Looking forward to more episodes!

8 episodes in and still learning.

As a veteran teacher, 15 years and counting, I listened to Jillian’s podcast expecting to know much of what she was presenting. While it is true that I am not new to Jillian’s content, I still walk away with so many notes and ideas. This podcast is for any one in education, no matter how many years you’d been in the business. I am recommending to all of my teacher friends and colleagues. Thank you Jillian for sharing with & inspiring us.

I love listening to your podcasts

Jillian, thank you for all of the great material. It is all so relevant to today’s best practices in teaching and I really appreciate you telling your story as a child growing up with struggles that were not understood. It has definitely made me take a closer look as to how I present material, and becoming more aware of the silent struggles that students may be going through. I feel your episode on the trauma aware classroom is one that all staff should listen to. (As well as several others) I shared your name with our school counselor and principal as your information is right in line with the training that out staff has been receiving for the last couple of years.

A Must Listen!

I discovered this podcast just two days ago and have already listened to all but one of the episodes! Jillian delivers such important information in each installment. She has provided me with comfort as she affirms practices that I already employ in my classroom as well as inspiration as she guides me to think about things in new ways. She not only gives teachers amazing research-based information, but she also gives us practical steps to take in our classrooms NOW! All of this is delivered with zero tone of judgment and Jillian’s voice is so calming. Her students are lucky to listen to her all day!

Relevant and empathetic

This podcast is great! It’s informative without being condescending and is so clear and easy follow. While some ideas are ‘grab and run with it’ ideas, and others are ‘nice but not now’, almost everything is something I’d like to experiment with in my own classroom. Also as an added bonus, her voice is so calming and warm that you instantly feel understood and relaxed. Teaching can be a lonely profession with many demands from the school, districts, and parents. Ms Starr somehow gives over that feeling of being right there with you and supporting you individually even though you’ve never met!Also Jillian, if you do morning meeting I’d love to hear an episode about that!
